The metamicrobiome: key determinant of the homeostasis of nutrient recycling
The metamicrobiome is an integrated concept to study carbon and nutrient recycling in
ecosystems. Decomposition of plant-derived matter by free-living microbes and fire–two key …

The causes of the selection of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in relation to ecosystem functioning and a research agenda to explore them
Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) has already led to several studies mainly focused on
underlying molecular mechanisms and applications to agriculture. We argue that it is also …

Litter-mediated soil alterations by Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) in Semiarid Rangelands
Invasive plants are regarded as both drivers and passengers of change in the ecosystems
they invade. In both conditions, these plants are reported to cause significant changes in soil …

Comparative litter decomposability traits of selected native and exotic woody species from an urban environment of north-western Siwalik region, India
Exotic plants can potentially modify ecosystem functions like cycling of nutrients by adjusting
their decomposition rates. However, these effects are largely unknown for urban …

Effects of mineral nitrogen partitioning on tree–grass coexistence in West African savannas
Coexistence between trees and grasses in savannas is generally assumed to be due to a
combination of partial niche separation for water acquisition and disturbances impacting the …
